I'm so sorry to hear that. I just heard a similar story. And it's going on all over by the hundreds of thousands. We've made it too easy to be on the street. It used to be a crime. If they had two choices, go to rehab or jail, maybe we could nick away at the problem. But there's so much corruption and so much money stolen and wasted we can't even have decent rehab centers.
Believe me Steve. We could all write a novel about the corruption and mismanagement of California. The list is endless. What we don't get is why do people keep voting them in?
This has been ongoing since the 1980's. I was called into a jury pool that had to do with a homeless person who has family in SB.
The answer then from most social services was to hand out drugs and a shelter address. It doesn't fix the problem. That was then when the numbers were at least 50% what they are now and mainly locals.
Then came the government funded shelters and monthly handouts to those who decided not to work. Henry up in your neighborhood there was a contractor type who was on welfare, worked off the books, and stated point blank he loves welfare, and was making more money then having a job and paying taxes.
These questions of handouts that attract the majority of handouts in the nation has to stop.
Want welfare give them a job and then state after a year there will not be anymore. Want welfare you may not consume alcohol, or any drugs, and will be tested.
Want welfare and refuse housing. too bad. There you go. It will stop soon with these conditions.
Thank you Henry. My daughter is homeless somewhere in SB. It’s truly heartbreaking as a mother. Sadly, a lot of homeless do not want help or to follow any rules whatsoever. I think this is why shelters largely fail.
You neglect to mention the reason California has a disproportionately high percentage of homeless: Newsom told them to come here. Why? Drives up the number of people in Congress and associated funding for California.
